I wrote Forever And Ever Amen, a semi-autobiographical novel about a boy growing up in Moss Side in the 1960s, partly in response to the shock I felt when reading about a shooting in Moss Side in the early 1990s. Apparently a school boy got shot in the face in a chip shop on Great Western Street. This was the same chip shop our family would go for our Friday evening fish and chips supper treat. Almost two decades later and I’m reading about a 15-year-old boy shot dead in the Recreation Park off Raby Street and Broadfield Road, the very same park where we played as kids.
If these people are trying to completely screw up my wonderful Moss Side childhood memories then they’re doing a pretty good job of it, I’m telling you.
